The Warrior of Light

My house is haunted 
and there is nowhere to go 
I heard my mother say that in this process 
we are raw to our skin 
I can say that is exactly how I feel 
my skin, bare to the flames of fire 

I saw a ghost the other day 
it changed shape 
fear overtook me 
and I felt as if it touch me 
it would stick to me forever 
it had no face but when I looked  
it laughed at me 


There are moments of helplessness 
there are moments that the child within all she does is cry in anguish 
and the adolescence fights until she gets caught in wire 
and bleeds with her own anger and drowns in her own pain 
there are moments that the great mother comes with her gentle touch and caresses my face 
I can feel her love, I can feel the love within 
and for a brief moment there is acceptance, there is compassion, and comfort 


This is the journey of the warrior of light, 
and so far I can't tell you how it will end 
all I can say is that my stomach lives in a knot so tight that I'm choking 
the ghosts of fears hunt me everyday 
and the light within me and the beauty around me reminds me of my potential 
so I keep on going, one step at time 
one lesson at a time shining light into the darkest parts of myself

What have you forgotten?

What have you forgotten today?
What do you need to remember today, to be present, to embrace your life fully?

Have you forgotten to embrace your life fully?
Have you forgotten to believe in who you are?
Have you forgotten to speak your truth?
Have you forgotten to forgive yourself and those who you blame for your pain?
Have you forgotten to feeling grateful of all the wonders in your life?

I believe it's time to let go...
let go of the expectations of tomorrow
let go of the stories of your past
let go of the fear that holds you back
let go of the masks that are preventing you to be exactly the way you are

What have you forgotten?
and
What do you need to remember?

Have you forgotten to love fully?
all that is alive?
Have you forgotten to respect yourself and other fully?
Have you forgotten to feel unconditionally?
Have you forgotten to play?
Have you forgotten to be right here, right now?
Have you forgotten to face your challenges with a smile?
Have you forgotten to accept this moment for what it is, for what you are right here, right now?

What have you forgotten lately that you need to remember?
Because
To Remember.... we have to become aware of what we have forgotten......
and for that we have to let go of the worries of tomorrow, and the regrets of the past
to be right here, right now- with all that is.

A sight of Truth

"As long as I believe in myself, I can do anything"

Grace

Grace,
I know
I know you reside in the depths
of the ocean of within.

I call upon you, Grace
come lift me
thus I am drowning in the fierce winds of grief.

Grace,
I know you
I've felt you before
and I know you are there, still.

I call for the full moon
to rise,
to bring high tides
to resurface the ocean from within
and reveal you.

Grace,
I know you are there!
I feel you at my very core.
Come out! I beg of you...
and conquer my life,
my heart,
my sight,
in this challenging time.

Today, the Earth is mourning

Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.

Today, the sky is crying,
silently letting go...
of the expectations of tomorrow.

Farewell to the memories,
of a distant future.
And with the last sight,
remembering the days that we once had.

Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.

So just for today,
I will let the river run,
I will let the sky fall in thunder and storm,
cause I know tomorrow it will nourish me somehow.
Somehow, I trust the sun will shine again,
and what once was gone,
will resurface transformed.

Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.
